@bigtakeovermag reviews new @trabants album "Mirage" writing:

" [Mirage has] surf rock, garage psych, lounge exotica, soul, jazz and vintage instrumental pop all pass through its fourteen tracks, sometimes politely, sometimes like a jukebox with unusually good taste and no supervision... Trabants aren’t trying to prove psychedelia is still relevant. They’re having too much fun bending it into new shapes. ‘Mirage’ is colorful, playful, strange and now and then beautiful, with enough personality to make nostalgia beside the point."

Trabants’ Full-Spectrum Twang on “Mirage”
Straight outta Portland, Trabants are making a mark with the full spectrum of ’60s twang. Here, Eric Penna’s Fender ’60s Player Stratocaster (with Kloppman ’62 pickups) is plugged into a ’66 Vox AC30 for a run through the title track of their new album, “Mirage.” Dave Berkham is playing a Dégas P Bass while Luke Strahota mans a ’60s Rogers kit. Our review of the album and interview with Penna appear in the September issue. Watch the entire video by clicking the link in our bio and search for “rabants” on our homepage.
